A raft of improvements and changes are on the cards for Bridgnorth Endowed\u2019s school library with a plethora of support coming from its students, parents, staff and members of the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, an appeal went out for second-hand books to boost the library\u2019s stock and, since then, a steady flow of bags and boxes of reading matter has been arriving in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after joining BES this September, headteacher, Mr Penn, put the library refresh firmly on the agenda and recruited an experienced task force, headed up by literacy lead, Mrs Summerhayes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mrs Summerhayes commented: \u201cThere\u2019s so much joy to be had from reading and, although we recognise that we are in the digital age, there\u2019s no substitute for the feel and smell of a book.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are all very passionate about restoring the library to its former glory, and hope to create a welcoming reading space at the heart of the school, where books are much more accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In parallel to the book appeal, the team has also been busy evaluating various software systems to help to manage the library as efficiently as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will tie in with the Accelerated Reader programme, which the school has run for almost eight years, as part of its strategy to encourage students to develop a lifelong love of reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the vision is for the new library to become a hub for students to find the latest, most sought-after books, alongside the classics, and wider reading material, such as newspapers and articles relevant to young people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as replenishing the shelves, plans are in place for an exciting calendar of activities and events, engaging themed displays, a \u2018wall\u2019 of student reviews, and plenty of buzz around books to entice pupils into the wonderful world of reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
